The Big 3 Roar Back
Last month, after selling less vehicles than imports for the first time ever, the Big 3 outsold imports for the month of August. However it was GM that was doing all the heavy lifting. GM sales rose 6% (8% less in cars sales, 16.5% increase in light truck sales). Both Ford and Daimler Chrysler posted loses (-14% and -6% respectively).
Toyota also posted loses while Honda, Nissan and Hyundai all posted positive gains.
